Configure connection
factory load balancing parameters

After you configure a
connection factory, you can define load balancing parameters so that
when multiple clients use this connection factory, they can choose how
to distribute their work to targeted server instances.

Note: The
Server Affinity Enabled attribute does not affect
queue browsers. Therefore, a queue browser created on a distributed
queue can be pinned to a remote distributed queue member even when
server affinity is enabled.

To configure load balancing
parameters on a connection factory:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).

In the
Administration Console, navigate to the connection factory resource
that you want to configure:

In
Server Affinity Enabled, specify whether
non-anonymous producers sending to a distributed destination are
load balanced on a per-send basis. When server affinity is turned
off, then a server instance will load balance consumers or
producers across member destinations in a distributed destination
and disregard any other physical destinations also running on the
same server instance.

In
Load Balancing Enabled, specify whether a
server instance that is load balancing consumers or producers
across multiple member destinations in a distributed destination
will first attempt to load balance across any other physical
destinations that are also running on the same instance. You can
turn off load balancing if you have applications that use
distributed destinations to distribute or balance their producers
and consumers across multiple physical destinations, but do not
want WebLogic Server to make a load balancing decision each time a
message is produced.
